Abstract

ABSTRACT

A method and tool for producing a bushing structure having a polygonal flange.

The invention relates to a method and a tool (6,8) for producing a bushing structure (1,2) having a bushing (1) and a polygonal flange (2) said flange initially being formed with a circular circumference (5) having an outer diameter equalling the diameter of the inscribed circle (5) of the polygon to be made whereafter by means of cold deformation the material of the flange at the location of the angles of the polygon to be made is forced to flow outwards by means of a die (8) having projections (9) the inner surfaces (10) of which are steep with respect to the axis of the die and the bottom surface (11) of which run obliquely and arching by upwards and outwards the radial width of said projections decreasing from the center to both sides.

Description

~Zfi~9 A method and tool for producing a bushing structure having a polygonal flange.

The invention relates to a method for producing a bushing structure having a polygonal flange. An example of such a bushing structure having a polygonal flange has for instance been disclosed in the U.S. Patent Specification nr. 1,513,638 5 and the U.S. Patent Specification nr. 1,982,145, respectively.
Usually such a bushing structure is provided with an internal thread for a screw plug and is used in the wall of a barrel in which a polygonal impression has been made for receiving the polygonal flange. The flange and the impression cooperate in order to keep the bushing in a fixed position when sorewing the sorew plug in its place.
When producing such a bushing structure having a flange the flange portion will always be made by starting from a blank punched out of sheet metal, whereby in view of technical reasons when machining it i8 necessary that the dimensions of the blank are somewhat bigger than the final dimensions of the flange portion. Successive machining operations are utilized for forming the bushing and the flange portion and for imparting the correct dimensions whereby the polygonal flange is obtained by punching away the edge portions.
~ he above deecribed way of manufucture lcad~ to material losses and the invention thereforo onvisages to provide a method wherein material losses are avoided.
Punching operations entail the drawback that sharp edges may be formed which detrimentally affect the adhesion of a coating if the bushing is provided with a coating. Sharp edges may be avoided by frequent and accurate maintenance of the punch dies and/or additional operations. ~ho invention furthermore envisages to provide a method in which the development of sharp edges, particularly at the periphery of the polygonal flange portion is completely eliminated in a more simple manner.
According to the invention this object is attained by initially forming the flange of the bushing structure at an outer diameter substantially equalling the diameter of the ~k ....

1~2~ 9 inscribed circle of the polygon to be made and subsequently cold working the material of the flange at the location of the angles of the polygon to be made by means of a tool acting transversally on the plane of the flange in order to impart a forced outward flow to the material to an extent that is the largest at the location of the angles and decreases in the direction of the points lying between said angles. Hence the invention is based on the conception of starting from a circular flange of too small a size followed by imparting thereto a polygonal shape by local impression.
Otherwise than upon punching this operation i9 not conducive to sharp edges. Moreover the material is strengthened by the cold working operation.
~ he bu~hing portion running from the flange i8 made by removing a circular center portion from the blank punched out of sheet metal and converting the inner edges into a cylindrical sleeve which at a later step is provided with a screw thread.
These are known operations it being novel however that out of the sheet metal there i8 punched a blank which is ~maller than the blank employed by the known method whereas the final product is just as large.
~ he tool for applying the invention preferably comprises a cavity formed by a polygonal rece~s for receiving the flange and a die provided with pro~ections directed towards ~aid oavity at the location of the angles of ~ald rece~ though wi~hin the inscribed circle, the inner surface of said projections being steep, i.e. being parallel to or appoximately parallel to the axis of the cavity and die, the bottom surface of said projections running obliquely and archingly upward~ and outwards, respectively, and the radial width of said projection~ decreasing from the Cellter to both sides thereof. In essence a tool is thus forced into the material of the flange at the location of an angle of the polygon to be made said implement having such a shape that the material of the flange is made to flow from the circular shape into the angular shape.
~ he invention will now be elucidated in further detail wi-th reference to the drawings.

Fig. 1 shows a cross section of the bushing structure provided with a flange to be manufactured.
Fig. 2 shows the location of the blank within the cavity and Fig. 3 shows a plan view likewise in diagrammatical representation.
With reference to Fig. 1 there has been shown a bushing 1 having a flange 2, which bushing has been provided with an internal screw thread 3. Within the lower side of the flange there have been indica-ted recesses 4. The bottom view of this flange represented in this figure is of hexagonal shape although it may also have a different number of angles, preferably eight.
From Figs. 2 and 3 it is apparent that the blank has a circular shape determined by the periphery 5 of the flange 2.
Upon stamping the circular blank having the periphery 5 and the manufacture of the bushing portion 1 in a known manner the work piece as shown in Fig. 2 is positioned within a cavity 6 whereby the flange 2 is received in a recess 7 of the cavity the height of which corresponds approximately to the thickness of the flange 2. As shown in Fig. 3 this recess 7 is of a hexagonal shape.
The circular flange 2 is forced into the hexagonal shape by means of die 8 provided with projections 9. ~he dimensions of these projections are such that upon foroing said pro~ections into the material of the flan~e thia materlal ia diaplaced outwardly in such a manner that the arcuate ahape is oonverted into an angle.
Conaequently the:re will have to be diaplaced a larger amount of material in the centre accompanied by a gradual decreaae of the material displacement towards the sides. For effectuating the outward diaplacement the pro~ection has an inner face running parallel or substantially parallel, respectively, to the axis of the die, i.e. running steeply in such a manner that the angle with respect to the axi~ is very acute whereas the bottom surface runs obliquely upwards in outward direction which bottom surface may have a flat or arcuate plane. The inner face has been indicated with the reference 10, the bottom surface with the reference 11.

~2Ç~

In ~ig. 1 the shape of the impression has been indicated at 12 in cross section.
~ rom Fig. 3 the shape of the impression in plan view will be apparent. ~rom the latter figure it will also be evident how the radial width of the projections and consequently of the impressions decreases in the middles of the sides of the polygon.
Each one of the projections serves to displace such an amount of material that the free space 13 between the periphery 5 of the flange and the side wall 14 of the recess 7 within thebcavity 6 will be completely filled, which condition will have to/reached when the cavity 6 and the die 8 come to rest on each other.
It will be clear that the impression does not necessarily have to be made on the lower side of the flange but that such impresslon may also be made on the upper side or on both sides, recpectively.
